SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: Read these safety rules before handling the firearm!
Read this operators manual before handling your firearm. The following safety rules
are placed in this manual by HK as an important reminder that firearms safety is your
responsibility. If handled improperly firearms can be dangerous and can potentially cause
damage to property, serious injury, or death.
1. Never point a firearm at anyone, or in any direction other than a SAFE direction, i.e.
downrange.
2. Treat all firearms as if they are always loaded.
3. Keep your finger off the trigger and outside of the trigger guard until your sights are
aligned on the target.
4. Keep your finger off the trigger and outside of the trigger guard while loading or
unloading the firearm.
5. Keep your finger off the trigger and outside of the trigger guard while slinging the
firearm or while carrying it.
6. Be sure of your target and the back stop beyond.
7. Never give a firearm to or take a firearm from anyone unless the action is open and
the magazine and/or chamber are free of any ammunition or brass.
8. Be sure that the ammunition you are using is factory loaded, is of the correct caliber
for the firearm in which it is to be used, and that it is not damaged in any way.
9. Before firing, remove the magazine from the firearm, lock the bolt open, make
sure the chamber is clear of any ammunition or brass, and check the barrel of the
unloaded firearm for any possible obstructions.
10. Before firing any firearm that is unfamiliar to you, make sure that you understand
exactly how it functions. A lack of familiarity with the firearm can result in serious
accidents. Attend a certified training course on any firearm which you intend to use
or with which you are not sufficiently familiar.
11. Always wear hearing and eye protection when using your firearm.
12. Keep all body parts, particularly the hands and fingers, away from the muzzle to
avoid injury or burns.
13. Be sure that parts of the hand do not touch or interfere with the action.
14. Firearms should be stored separately from ammunition and beyond the reach of
children, and/or any untrained individuals.
15. Avoid the use of any alcoholic beverages or drugs before and during the use of any
firearm.
16. Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning firearms, or handling
ammunition may result in exposure to lead, a substance known to be associated with
birth defects, reproductive harm, and other serious injury. Have adequate ventilation
at all times. Wash hands thoroughly after exposure.
17. To make the firearm safe, one must ensure the chambered round is removed
during the clearing procedure. Removal of the rifle’s magazine does not remove the
chambered round. This can only be done with the rearward movement of the bolt
after the magazine is removed.
